      ? - - : - "¦ " . TO THE RADICALS OF AYRSHIRE . Fellow Countrymen , —Tbe plan of a national convention of paid members chosen by Universal Suffrage and now carrying into operation , embodies on a more extended scale the viewiwhich I long ago promulgated to you , and if vigorously sustained will securefiir you all you can desire ; bnt everything will depend upon persons sent to represent you . I have noticed with deep regret that many of our former friends have shown a desire to tamperwith the Whigs , in the vain hope of conciliating them , thus falling into the very same error in regard to them , f »> r committing winch in regard to the Tories , these very mrti were loudest in tbeir denunciation of tbe Whigs . _ They have now-becnm * moderatists with expediency ' for their motto , the next * t »» i > will

      htnnbla ^ hinK Whiggery—they preach Radicalixin lor th * sake of popular notice , and tbe rest of their time isspeut in private recantatious of tbeir public expres 4 ons , and sreers of ptvtended . regret for the conduct of those who more manly thau thems-lves , hare the boldness to avow the priuciples they thiuk riiiht , and the line of conduct they intend to pursne . This tendency to Whiggery > bonld be checked in its career , and only those men returned whose principles are so defined that they carinpi "be tnistaken , aud wtose firmness has been so proved that there ^ uo fear of their brimming , for ou their firmness , contempt of danger , and knowledge of the world , every tbing will depend , aud if the Whigs have the skill or

      cuumixg to j » et returned even a Tespect » bl « minority vil waverers or men liiible tobeled astray by j » pecinus pretences , the cause of Radicalism will be put back Mr in * iiy years . Impressed with these views I have « gaiu aud again stated my opinions aud consumlv opposed every attempt to auialgainate with the W higs , and 1 was calmly waiting the result in retire ? meuu when the unexpected and unsolicited kindness of the men of Cumuock aud Ayr culled upouiue u > take a part in tbe great drama about to be acted . It has always been my creed that no man who lias hroimht himself bt- ' oru the public , has any r ight to shrink from the consequences , and beiusj in this situarion , havingfoughnnniiy battlesfor Democracy

      wheu it was wot quile so easy a matter as now , hnviug above all , been mainly instrumental in urging the people of this country to a stem opposition both to Whigs and Tor i . . * , I s ' aould consider myself as acting with gteat inconsistency did I decliue being put iu nomination as a delegate to the National Convention . My character aiidprinciples are sufficiently known to you , of ray defeniiiiiaiiou and firmness yon have bad ample opportunities oi judging , and with yon must rest thedecijion whether I am likel y to forward your iutere .-ts . Beyoud this pnblic notice 1 will take no lurther step to secure your suffrages , and even thi- « w ouly resorted to in jnstice to those who have called me forward , because

      che whole efforts of your pretended friends will all concentrate to keep ' me ont , and a report bns beeu industriously circulated that even ifreturned I would reluse to act . Among those who will be named there must be several well qualified to support ih « great casse of the p .-ople at this momenUm ^ crisis , and mj' most sincere hope is that tbe men of iny native conntry , throwing usiJe all factions prejudice > and personal feeling , will prove by their choice til otjce tbeir intelligence and their determination t « . i wrest from the hands of their tvrants the power ol louger oppressing them , an- , hencefoith to gowru thernsttlves _ on those immutatjie princi ple * of universal ju-ti : e , -which alone are compatible with universal lreeoom . 1 remain- countrymen , Yours tiulv , JOHN TAYLOR .

      MURDEROUS AND BRUTAL OUT R AG E . On Saturday afternooD , a number of collirrs , from HuefuiU ax -niilcu place , or in tbe immediate ueighbourhood , they all resided , after spending the eveaiug and night in driukiug , returned towards borne , Twtwixt two and three on Sunday morning , quarrelling at every place where they couW j ? et ac . cess , and insulting or abusing every persoa tb ^ y juef Bt-forw this time , they had got into the Dusty Miller public-house , in Oldham-road , and created a d ; nturbance ; but they were overpowered , and contrived t >_ » make their escape before the arrival of Mr . Herriug , tbe constable , who had bten sent for . It happened that James Dearden , a poor man who has been * Uibbed , had a light iu his house , wLich is situated further on the road they were taking .

      i > enrden was supposed to be iu the habit of suffering tippling in his hmi > p , from liquor obtained at beersbups , and at this time he was intoxicated , driukiiig with two men , one of them insensibl y drunk ; and , we regret to say , Deardeu ' s wife was ' also in liquor , iu the same apartment . - The four colliers seeing the light made for the place , and rushed in ; but Dearden , disliking either their company or their mode of entrance , refused to receive them , and requested them to leave the place , which they refused to do ; after this b * seized ihe poker , and drov- them to the door , which he shut up « n them . Tbey had three fanc y fighting dojjs with them , one of which remained in ihe house . ; and ou ascertaining they had If It it b -Iiiud , the four colliers returned , and forced open

      the door ; -and'Deitrden-aud his wife endeavoured to prevent their entrance , one of th ^ m , with a lammer , or some other heavy weapon , wonuded tbe woman in two places on the head , and Dearden presen Jy fell upon the floor , from two mortal wound * in tne abdomen ; the fellowg then took the dog , and scampered off . It does not appear that either of th « menm the house materially luterfered . Tbe house was soon crowded with neighbours ; and ou the arrival of Herring , the constable , he found the place nearly fall of people , and Deardeu lying on his side on the floor , which was covered with blood and a portion of his bowels protruding from the viomids . He was speechlej-JS anH was suffered to remain as he was until the arrival of Messrs . Barker and

      Conteg . gurgeons . who had him conveyed to bed , where they cnr off his clothes , and examined the wounds , one on tbe right , the other on the lelt . side of the abdomen . That on the right was about thrre i-cches in length , and the bowels were cut in both wounds . Meantime , a woman found near the do » r , a copper cl . » ured rough hat , which the constable took to the Dusty Miller , and showed it tu the landlord , who immediate y identified it ax belonging to one of tbe firar men who had been at hi * house previously ; and tbe parties tbns becomiux known , they wrere speedily pursu « d by the police and the watch , and in a * hort time were secured at their re-pecthv dwelling * , at Yew Tree , on Buersill . Three dogs were alao taken , and identified a * the name tbey bad with th at the Miller

      em Do » ty . The men were immediately placed in'the-lock-up * , at Rochdale , f . r , Q ^ 8 =-w tDt > ir names as David Lord , Thomas Mill * , Taoinag Taylor , and Thomas Keuworthy . It would won they were not rtarched when first taken into custody , ax , at the lock-ups , one of tliHiu managed to throw *> metbing into the lap of a woman who sat there , having been brought in as -a di * orderly . She did not know what it was , but concealed u beceath her * hawl ; but , hearing afterwards with what the men were charged , she examined the article , and found it to be a new claspknife , bloody ; she then , in horror , put it from her , and in the moning informed Wooliey , tbe beadle , of the circumstance , and where it wax deposited Woolli » y ««* cired it ; it is one of the common buckhorn hafted knives , rach as carters and others use

      for catting tbeir cheese and bacon ; tbe blade is three inches in length , terv sharp pointed , and a little curved ; the blade , and the socket in which it is shut , are stained with blood . The woman will identify tbe man who threw the kiife ; but as she has not yeidoue so , hi * name ig withheld . On Monday , Dearden was still living , but , of course , without hope of recoTerr . ¦ :-Tuesday . —The unfortnnate man , Dearden , still ungew , but in a dying state . The prisoners have w * n . brought up , and again reminded ; and tomorrow the investigation will probably be in the coroner . hands .

The men , however , had continued their work until Saturday last ; but on Monday they declined ^ oing down to work , in cpndAquence of hearing nowes below like the fklling of large pieces of rock salt , which continued at intervals during the day . On the following morning , four of the men ventured down the water shaft , and found there was not a space for the bucket to pass down the main shaft , an the planks on one side were forced inwards ; and . subsequently , on making a similar attempt , it was found the difficulty baa increased .

      , belonged to her husband ; aud which were detained by the landlord for the rent due by Cole . The goods were in the house of the defendant , and he Would not let them be taken away , without the consent of the landlord , and from " this the assault arose . Several witnesses were called to prove and disprove the assault ; and , the evidence being of a conflicting nature , the magistrates dismissed the case , ordering Cole to pay the expenses . Miss Harriet Shaw appeared to answer the charge of Margaret Pearson j for having , on the 16 th inst ., struck her sundry heavy blows , which the complainant did not at all relish . Richard Swallow deposed that he had witnessed the whole affair , and saw the defendant strike the complainant without the least provocation . Durinr the evidence of the

      witness , a woman , who appeared on behalf of the defendant , and who had been partaking of the hospitality of Miss Shaw ' s mother , exclaimed , "Oh , what a false statement ! " and made several extraordinary grimaces , which would have put Grimaldi in the shade . The defendant being asked what she had to say for herself , asserted that the complainant struck her first ; and also called her mother divers names , not very creditable to her modesty .

The complainant , on being struck with the bludgeon , exclaimed

      "Oh , dear ! " and said he had not been singingupon which Oldham said , that if he spoke again , he would lock him up . The complainant then got a summons for the watchman , and the case was heard on Monday last . Mr . Cob&ett , of Manchester , at-.-ended for Mellor , and , on opening the case , stated that it was simply a case of common assault . The only remarkable feature about the ease was , that Oldham , who was paid , and no doubt very handsomely , for prtsei viug the pe « ce of the town , was the first to break it . He understood these assaults were not uncommon , and be begged to assure the

      magistrate , that if they were allowed to be comrnitled , the people , instead of appealing to such men tor protection , would consider them as their greatest scourge . Mr , Cobbett then called Mellor , who stated the case as abeve , which was corroborated b y Francis Addy . Both the magistrates severely reprimanded Ohham for his conduct , saying , thateven admitting Mellor had been singing in the street , which they did not believe , he had no right to strike him , and ordered him to pay a fine of £ 2 and expenses .
